Some days the ocean gives it all up. Saturday was one of them. Aboard the 27' Boston Whaler Conquest, Captain Jason and a party of four limited out with eight Chinook and eight Coho by 10:30 in the morning.
Conditions were flawless. Clear blue sky, 24°C, a light north wind at 3 knots, and glassy calm water across Discovery Passage. Seas held under a metre and visibility ran 10 km. With a new moon and an Excellent solunar rating, the fish were switched on from first light.
We trolled Tomic 602 plugs on downriggers at 180 feet through the main channel between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island. Water temp sat at a warm 16.4°C, keeping the fish active and feeding hard. The morning flood tide through Seymour Narrows pushed bait and the rods answered — chrome bright Chinook in the 12-16 lb range with the best fish going 16 lbs, and silver Coho right alongside.
The day belonged to Shane, who treated his parents to a full day on the water. Returning guests from Alberta, they got the full Campbell River experience. Yvonne, Dan, and Mom each felt a rod load up, and the smiles in the photos tell the rest. Boy, did it pay off.
The Boston Whaler Conquest comes with a heated cabin, private washroom, Starlink WiFi, and premium electronics — comfortable for groups up to four. Free parking at the south end of Tyee Plaza.
